Madison is a fine place, football and otherwise. It’s not home, but sometimes I wish it was.

Historic Pacific Northwest Heatwave of 2021
TimB replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
In layman’s terms, is this saying June was nearly a full degree Fahrenheit warmer than ever recorded, even when averaged over a massive portion of the world? -
I wasn’t alive yet, but my Penn State alumni parents had the VHS tape of that national championship game, which I watched numerous times as a child. Even though I’m an alum of another Big Ten school, I still root for PSU anytime they’re not playing Wisconsin. It’s just in my blood. Thank God they got rid of those stupid leaders and legends divisions where it was an annual rivalry for a few years. (Though the competitive balance, especially in football, was a little better that way.)

Would think we’re a few prominent covid tests away from the Olympics being cancelled, especially if they occur after athletes are already in Tokyo.
-
I can think of plenty such days in 2020...
-
6z continues that trend of shifting the core of the trough up that way. Still a lot of comfortable mornings.
-
18z GFS run was solid for those who don’t want heat. By morning we’ll be looking at GFS runs that show August.
-
And no Bradley Beal for the Olympics? Team USA may be in trouble.

I feel like I’d be ashamed to have and use something like that nowadays amid the ongoing water crisis in the southwest. Florida, on the other hand, I’d have no shame.
-
I hesitate to say this given other conversations we’ve had in this thread, but my yard in Arizona had a lawn and a sprinkler system. (In my defense, it was that way when I bought the house, but I didn’t get rid of it and make a rock yard either.)
-
Yes, models look quite dry your way.
-
-
I know, it’s a serious leap of faith. I miss that short period of time when we had the old and new GFS running simultaneously.
-
Until you’re told otherwise, just assume the Euro broke the tie in favor of the GFS.
-
GFS is still remarkably consistent with its prior runs in the D9/10 range. But yes, the CMC continues to diverge.
-
I remember that game. Just looked at the stats and they are as ugly as I figured they’d be. The number of times PSU was in Iowa territory, even starting drives in Iowa territory a few times, is stunning for an offense that put up 0 points.
-
So we’ve now had two discussions this morning about vastly unrelated subjects, but both revolve around the “atmosphere not being what it was.”
-
Don’t worry, I was talking to some friends at the Riverhounds game awhile back and I said something about the Steelers going 6-10 and was met with the same response.
-
I’d also be surprised if we manage to tie or beat Cleveland in either matchup this season, let alone hold them to single digit points. God, I hope I’m wrong about this. It’s right up there with my gut feeling that PIT hits 97 this summer for only the second summer since 1995.
-
I would be absolutely shocked if this team finishes either 8-8 or 6-10, considering there are now 17 games. That said, I really don’t see 4-13 as far fetched (but could also reasonably see 9-8 or 8-9).

Oh lord, it’s hard to give him the benefit of the doubt here but he is the victim unless proven otherwise. This franchise doesn’t have the time for distractions, though that ship seemingly hasn’t been as tight the past few years. I just have this bad feeling it’s going to be a long season.
-
A quick google search shows that the “hazy” is still used by various local (not here) news outlets (DC, Burlington, the Bronx, Charlottesville, Corpus Christi). I wonder if those places still get the “hazy” with their hot and humid, or if the term is just used for legacy purposes.
-
Not to worry, it isn’t quite as purple 24 hours later:
-
It sure does. So now it’s back to the normal mode of rooting for the GFS and firing the EC like Jason Garrett after an 8-8 season.
